    piracy also kept the music industry afloat

    And we all saw how grateful 🙏 the music industry was to Napster and the like

      But the music industry (mostly) figured it out. You can get the same song from a subscription to any number of services.

      TV/Movies are still siloed. Once they figure out that it’s better to let you subscribe to one service and watch anything, that’s the day that most piracy will stop.

        They did figure out having 1 service for watching a huge library of movies/TV with a Netflix. But they have started imploding because of corporate greed, which is bringing back piracy by the masses.
